Article Synopsis
- IBS is a common disorder with altered gut function and is often linked to anxiety, but the role of gut bacteria in its symptoms is unclear.
- Researchers studied germ-free mice to see how fecal microbiota from healthy individuals or IBS patients affected gut function and behavior.
- Mice with IBS-D microbiota had distinct metabolic profiles, faster gut transit, intestinal issues, immune activation, and displayed anxiety-like behavior, suggesting that gut bacteria may influence both physical and mental health in IBS patients.
